Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an arrangement in a mobile system node. More specifically it relates to a mechanism for bi-casting.
  • HS-DSCH High Speed Downlink Shared Channel
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telephone System
  • CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
  • H-ARQ Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request
  • the HS-DSCH channel targets transmission of Internet Protocol (IP) type services and several user equipments, share a common physical resource on the radio interface.
  • IP Internet Protocol
  • the main design principles for HS-DSCH were not aiming for support of voice or other real-time application services, the physical layer radio properties of the HS-DSCH have been proven also very much suited to cater for, real-time application services such as e.g., Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic services.
  • VoIP Voice over IP
  • 3GPP Release 99 mobility is handled by the Radio Network Controller (RNC) with assistance from the user equipment.
  • the user equipment sends a measurement report indicating which cells (or Node-Bs) that have good radio channel as measured on a pilot signal.
  • the RNC receives this measurement report, establish the appropriate radio channels in the concerned Node-Bs, and indicate to the user equipment that it should switch the reception to these new radio channels.
  • the user equipment can do simultaneous reception from several cells at the same time (macro-diversity). This gives an interrupt free transition when the user equipment moves from one cell to another within the mobile system, without any break in the communication.
  • macro diversity is not possible when using HS-DSCH.
  • the user equipment instead leaves the old radio channel before it re-establishes the connection via a new radio channel in the new cell. The switching time from the old cell to the new cell could lead to an interruption in the reception and data flow.
  • Data packets to be transferred to the user equipment are sent in a stream from the RNC to Node-B where the data packets are temporary stored in e.g. a buffer, while waiting to be scheduled.
  • the RNC decides that the user equipment shall change cell, the RNC need to send data packets in another stream to the new Node-B.
  • the RNC commands the user equipment to change cell, the RNC cannot know exactly which data packets were sent to the user equipment before the user equipment leave the old cell, and can therefore not know exactly from where in the packet data stream it should start to transmit in the new cell. Thus the RNC cannot know from where it should start send the data to the new Node-B instead of the old. If the RNC sends data too early to the new node B, the interruption time will be longer than necessary, and if the RNC sends the data too late, packets will be unnecessarily dropped.
  • the RNC can make sure that the buffers in the Node-B have user data to transmit to the user equipment all the time. To cater for these facts it is the state of the art in other technologies to perform bi-casting and send the same user data packets to both the new and the old Node-B in parallel during a short transition phase while the handover is taking place.
  • the user data stream When real time user data such as e.g. VoIP is transferred, the user data stream have data packets, so-called Protocol Data Units (PDUs) arriving on a regular basis from the application, e.g. once every 20 ms.
  • PDUs Protocol Data Units
  • the application requires to have the PDUs in sequence and within a certain time period, otherwise they are not useful. Therefore one can have a “time-to-live” timer running in all buffers, and if the data get too old it is discarded, even before it is sent.
  • HS-DSCH there is such a function included in the Node-B.
  • RLC Radio Link Control
  • AM Acknowledged Mode
  • UM Unacknowledged Mode
  • TM Transport Mode
  • RLC UM adds its own sequence number so that one can detect if there were PDUs lost on the radio interface. In the case of doing RLC UM on HS-DSCH sequence number checking is done in the user equipment.
  • the application PDUs are encapsulated in RLC UM PDUs using segmentation/concatenation and addition of a sequence number.
  • a user equipment moves from an old cell to a new cell while a stream of three RLC UM PDUs are to be sent from the Core network (CN), via the RNC to a user equipment.
  • Bi-casting is used to limit the interruption and the RNC estimates that the change would occur around when PDU 1 -SN 5 , PDU 2 -SN 6 , PDU 3 -SN 7 are sent, so PDUs 1 - 3 are sent both to the old Node-B and new Node-B.
  • the old Node-B manages to send PDUs 1 - 2 to the user equipment before the user equipment leaves the old Node-B.
  • the user equipment then leaves the old Node-B and tunes to the radio channel of the new Node-B.
  • the New Node-B will then continue to send all the PDUs 1 - 3 , waiting in its buffer, that does not have a time-to-live timer that has expired. If none of the timers have expired the new Node-B will continue with the PDUs that it has in its buffer and send these to the user equipment. In this example it will send PDUs 1 - 3 .
  • the problem is that since the user equipment already has received PDUs with SN 5 and SN 6 , it will interpret receiving of PDU-SN 5 again as an indication that it has lost all the PDUs with sequence number 7 , 8 , 9 . . . , up to max sequence number and the PDUs with the sequence numbers 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , i.e. that the user equipment is believing that the sequence number has been wrapped around and that the user equipment is now receiving the next cycle of sequence numbers.
  • the rules in the RLC protocol says the user equipment shall interpret a received PDU being associated with the same or a lower sequence number as the previous received PDU, as a wrap around, i.e. that a new cycle of PDUs is received and that the intermediate PDUs has been lost.
  • the sequence number is 7 bits so the maximum sequence number is 128.
  • Each PDU in a sequence cycle is associated with one and the same Hyper Frame Number (HFN) such that each PDU in a subsequent sequence cycle is associated with one and the same HFN that is increased compared with the previous sequence cycle.
  • the HFN is the most significant bits (MSB) and the PDU sequence number is the least significant bits (LSB) of the sequence number used by the user equipment in the decipher algorithm to decipher received PDUs, if ciphering is used.
  • MSB most significant bits
  • LSB least significant bits
  • a wrongly interpretation of a RLC sequence number wrap-around, as described in the scenario above, is interpreted as an increase of the HFN meaning that the user equipment will use erroneous input to the deciphering algorithm and can therefore not decipher the data correctly. This is a condition that would last for the rest of the connection, and would therefore be catastrophic for the service.
  • the object is achieved by a method for bi-casting real time data packets in a mobile system node.
  • the node is comprised in a mobile system, which mobile system comprises an old Node-B and a new Node-B.
  • the old Node-B and the new Node-B are adapted to be connected to the node.
  • the mobile system further comprising a user equipment 130 adapted for switching the receipt of real time data packets from the old Node-B to the new Node-B.
  • the method comprises the steps of associating a first sequence number with a first real time data packet adapted to be sent to the old Node-B, and associating a second sequence number with the same first real time data packet adapted to be sent to the new Node-B.
  • the second sequence number is different from the first sequence number.
  • the object is achieved by an arrangement in a mobile system node.
  • the node is comprised in a mobile system.
  • the mobile system comprises an old Node-B and a new Node-B, which old Node-B and new Node-B are adapted to be connected to the node.
  • the mobile system further comprises a user equipment adapted for switching the receipt of real time data packets from the old Node-B to the new Node-B.
  • the node arrangement comprises a bi-casting unit adapted to associate a first sequence number with a first real time data packet adapted to be sent to the old Node-B.
  • the bi-casting unit is further adapted to associate a second sequence number with the same first real time data packet adapted to be sent to the new Node-B. The second sequence number being different from the first sequence number.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that it allows using real-time application services, e.g. VoIP, on HS-DSCH.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is that it allows bi-casting in order to avoid loss of data during mobility from one Node-B to another Node-B.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is that it prevents erroneous input to the deciphering algorithm due to misinterpreted turn-around.

  • the invention is defined as a method and an arrangement which may be put into practice in the embodiments described below.
  • FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary scenario of a cellular mobile system 100 comprising a mobile system node which in this example is a RNC 110 .
  • the mobile system is connectable to an infrastructure network 120 such as e.g. the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), an IP network or a radio access network.
  • PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
  • the mobile system 100 uses technologies such as e.g. WCDMA, HS-DSCH, Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH), Enhanced Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA), 3G Long Term Evolution (3GLTE), Super 3G or Wireless World Initiative New Radio (WINNER).

  • 3GLTE 3G Long Term Evolution
  • WINNER Wireless World Initiative New Radio
  • a user equipment 130 is located under radio coverage of the mobile system 100 and is connected to the infrastructure network 120 , via a radio channel to a first base station, which in this example is a Node-B 140 .
  • the Node-B 140 is denoted the old Node-B 140 , which old Node-B is associated with a cell, in which cell the user equipment 130 currently is positioned.
  • the user equipment 130 may be personal digital assistants (PDA), laptop computers or any type of devices capable of communicating via radio resources.
  • PDA personal digital assistants
  • the user equipment 130 is receiving real time data packets, so-called, PDUs that are being transferred to the user equipment 130 in a stream from the infrastructure network 120 .
  • the PDUs are transmitted via the RNC 110 and via the old Node-B 140 before sending them on to the user equipment 130 .
  • RLC UM is used for a real time service (unacknowledged mode segmentation/concatenation protocol that includes a sequence number) but any similar protocol may also be used.
  • the real time data packets are encapsulated and sequence numbers are added.
  • the application PDUs are encapsulated in RLC UM PDUs using segmentation/concatenation and addition of a sequence number. This is performed by e.g. the RNC 110 such that a first RLC PDU 4 is associated with a sequence number SN 2 , a second RLC PDU 5 is associated with a sequence number SN 3 , and a third RLC PDU 6 is associated with a sequence number SN 4 .
  • the above mentioned encapsulated PDUs, PDU 4 associated with SN 2 , PDU 5 associated with SN 3 and PDU 6 associated with SN 4 , are sent from the RNC 110 to the old Node-B.
  • the old Node-B comprises a buffer 150 wherein the PDUs associated with the respective sequence numbers, are temporary stored while waiting to be scheduled.
  • the user equipment 130 is moving towards a second cell in the mobile system 100 , which second cell is associated with a second base station such as e.g. a Node-B, in this example denoted new Node-B 160 .
  • a second base station such as e.g. a Node-B
  • new Node-B 160 a second base station
  • the user equipment 130 enters the second cell it will switch on to continue the receipt of the real time data packets from new Node-B when the user equipment 130 is informed by the RNC 110 to start reception from the new Node-B 160 instead of the old Node-B 140 .
  • the RNC 110 can anticipate for the potential uncertainty in the time related to the PDUs when the user equipment 130 is switching from the old Node-B 140 to the new Node-B 160 .
  • the RNC 110 estimates that the change will occur in the time span of when PDU 4 and PDU 6 is to be transmitted to the user equipment 130 and therefore starts bi-casting by sending PDU 4 , PDU 5 and PDU 6 to both the old Node-B 140 and the new Node-B 160 .
  • the RNC 110 when bi-casting, the RNC 110 tampers with the PDU data before transmitting it to the new Node-B 160 so that the data sent to new Node-B 160 differs from the data that is sent to the old Node-B 140 .
  • This is to avoid that the user equipment 130 wrongly interprets that the sequence number has been wrapped around, i.e. that the user equipment when switching from old Node-B 140 to new Node-B 160 deludes into believing that it receives the next cycle of sequence numbers when that is not the real case.
  • the tampering with the PDU data before transmitting it to the new Node-B may be performed by a function in a mobile system node such as e.g.
  • the RNC 110 that introduces a RLC SN slip of N between the data sent to the old Node-B 140 and the New-Node-B 160 .
  • the sequence numbers sent to the old Node-B 140 are increased with one for each new PDU sent to the old Node-B 140 .
  • the same PDU is sent to the new Node-B but with an extra increase in the sequence number with N. In the embodiment in FIG. 1 , this is performed such that PDU 4 is associated with sequence number SN 2 and is sent to old Node-B 140 but PDU 4 is instead associated with a different sequence number SN 7 when sent to new Node-B 160 , i.e.
  • the sequence number is increased with 5 when sent to the new Node B.
  • PDU 5 is associated with sequence number SN 3 and is sent to old Node-B 140 but PDU 5 is associated with a different sequence number SN 8 when sent to new Node-B 160 , i.e. the sequence number is also increased with 5 when sent to the new Node B
  • PDU 6 is associated with sequence number SN 4 and is sent to old Node-B 140 but PDU 6 is associated with a different sequence number SN 9 when sent to new Node-B 160 , i.e. the sequence number is also increased with 5 when sent to the new Node B.
  • N should be related to the time-to-live timer in the Node-Bs 140 and 160 , i.e. if the time-to-live for a PDU sent to the new Node-B 160 is T and one PDU is sent every time period t the sequence number should be larger than (T DIV t).
  • the sequence number can be described as k in the old Node-B 140 and as k+N in the new Node-B, where N is the extra increase in the sequence number.
  • the new Node-B 160 also comprises a buffer 170 wherein the PDUs 2 - 4 associated with the respective differentiated sequence numbers SN 9 - 11 are temporary stored while waiting to be scheduled.
  • the user equipment 130 receives PDU 4 associated with SN 2 , and PDU 5 associated with SN 3 from the old Node-B 140 before switching on to receive from new Node-B 140 .
  • new Node-B will start sending the stored PDUs 2 - 4 associated with the respective differentiated sequence numbers SN 7 - 9 stored in the buffer 170 .
  • the user equipment 130 will, as mentioned above, receive PDUs 4 - 5 associated with respective sequence numbers SN 2 and SN 3 from the old Node-B 140 and then when switched, the user equipment 130 will receive again the same PDUs 4 - 5 but instead associated with respective sequence numbers SN 7 and SN 8 .
  • the sequence number series was broken, which break is the jump from SN 3 to SN 7 , but since the break did not involve the same or a decreased sequence number, the user equipment 130 will not interpret this as a RLC SN wrap around, i.e. that the next cycle of sequence numbers sequence of PDUs.
  • PDU 4 and PDU 5 are duplicated, however, there is, e.g. in case of VoIP, a protocol on top of the RLC in the user equipment, like Real time Transport Protocol (RTP), that includes sequence numbers; said protocol being able to detect duplicates and remove them before they are passed on to the application in the user equipment 130 .
